Book of Joys: Notation
A man walks by and we
notice his femur is a
cello. A woman with
bowed back carrying
a child made of stretched
sinew.
We look up to where the
birds perch in midair
and notice their wings
covered in keys,
the ravens and the doves.
There is our mother,
wheelchair-bound,
speechless after the
operation,
but her eyes
Bill Chase on the
trumpet.
